Considering LuxCore shortcomings, would it be possible to implement GlossyTranslucent or GlossyCoating materials? Currently there is nothing in LuxCore to simulate translucent base with glossy coating (short of mixing Glossy with MatteTranslucent, but this combo is much trickier to configure and in most cases leads to different results).

It is possible and it is not even that complex but it is quite some work ... and you may have noticed I don't like very much to work on materials So if some beats me in the porting, is welcome.

P.S. GlossyCoating may also cause some problem with AMD compiler because of its mix-like nature. GlossyTranslucent is less problematic because it is a kind of hard coded mix.

You are using camera auto-focus option that wasn't supported by LuxCoreRenderer but is by LuxCore. I extended LuxCoreRenderer to support auto-focus and now DOF seems to works fine.

P.S. SATtva, you have broken LuxVR execution from LuxBlend with this commit https://bitbucket.org/luxrender/luxblen ... 1e5d0618a3. You should pass epsilon settings inside the .lxs not from command line. I think also that epsilon command line settings are not passed trough network rendering so this may be the source of your other problem too. Bug report fire back

Hi very happy tout see all the progress here and the last release. My first test show that There is some minor bug again. Light type ans position are not exported. And material preview show all items.i m ready for an interior design test hehe thank dade .Metal material give difuse render.viewport preview rendering mod doesnt match selected rendering engine.

Yes, i know it isn't passed to nodes, that's why i started each of them explicitly with epsilon option. I'll try to come up with a proper test case.

I am using the current version 14.2 on an i7 5820K (Haswell-E). Maybe it is AVX2-related?I appended the console output for further reference.
